Our Voices: HERfinance Testimonials

Savithri

HERfinance Peer Educator | India

I have learned many things from this program. Earlier the idea to save for the future had never occurred to me. Now, my husband and I plan ahead for all our expected expenses and this way we know how much we need to reserve so as not to fall short. We also used to put money in chit funds (informal group savings schemes), and I was cheated by them once. Now I keep my money in the bank where I know it is safe. I even opened a personal bank account.

This training has motivated me and has been extremely helpful to me and my family. I have also spoken about it to my neighbors and friends so that they might also benefit from this knowledge.
